Abstract It is known that if unused drugs are improperly disposed, they can pollute the environment. Furthermore, researchers are still trying to find an environmentally friendly corrosion inhibitor. These factors lead to the possible application of unused pharmaceutical compounds as corrosion inhibitors. The feasibility of an anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic drug, ibuprofen, was evaluated as a potential copper corrosion inhibitor in synthetic acid rain solution. This investigation was performed by applying electrochemical and weight loss measurements and quantum chemical calculations. The results obtained by these techniques revealed the ability of ibuprofen to protect copper from corrosion. The inhibition efficiency of ibuprofen rises with increase in its concentration and can reach a value of 97.3%. The results of surface analysis of treated coupons by scanning electron microscopy and theoretical calculations are consistent with the experimental results.

The development of green and sustainable corrosion inhibitors for copper in a corrosive marine environment is highly desired. Herein, we studied the fatty acid-based amidine as the new type of renewable corrosion inhibitor. Stearamidine salt was used as a model inhibitor, and it was synthesized through stearonitrile intermediate with an excellent isolated yield of 88%. We used electrochemical (potentiodynamic polarization) and morphological (scanning electron microscopy) measurements to assess the corrosion inhibition efficiency of stearamidine in 3.0 wt.% NaCl at 300 K. We show that, in such a condition, the optimum inhibition efficiency of 96% was achieved using only 0.2 mM stearamidine. The results suggested the fatty amidine is a promising corrosion inhibitor for copper that is suitable in the saltwater ecosystem. The thermodynamic parameters of the interaction between the stearamidine and the copper surface were determined, and the result suggests that the adsorption process occurred accordingly with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and involved both physisorption and chemisorption.

Two N-substituted thiosemicarbazone derivatives namely as 2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide and 2-benzylidene-N-phenylhydrazinecarbothioamide (L1 and L2, respectively) have been tested as corrosion inhibitors on mild steel in 1 M HCl. The ligands were synthesized and investigated using potentiodynamic polarization (PD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).  The obtained results indicated that inhibition efficiency, (IE, %) L1 increased with increasing inhibitor concentrations which behaved as a good corrosion inhibitor compared to L2. The synthesized ligands were successfully characterized by melting point, elemental analysis (C, H, N, and S), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy. The excellent inhibition effectiveness for both compounds on mild steel before and after immersion in 1 M HCl solution containing 40 ppm of L1 and L2 were also verified by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Based on potentiodynamic polarization results, it can be concluded that all investigated compounds are mixed-type inhibitors and obey the Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

Most of the corrosion inhibitors that are used in industry contain chemicals that are harmful to health and environment. Corrosion inhibitors derived from green sources are, therefore, believed to be a good option for replacing the chemical corrosion inhibitors. In this work, a green oleochemical corrosion inhibitor derived from Jatropha Curcas is introduced. The paper discusses the methodology of deriving the corrosion inhibitor as well as the experimental test conducted for evaluating its corrosion inhibition efficiency. The new oleochemical corrosion inhibitor was derived via two reactions. Jatropha oil was firstly saponified with sodium hydroxide to yield gras acid and glycerol, which was then esterified with boron fluoride in presence of excess methanol to produce the oil methyl esters, which is used as oleo-chemical corrosion inhibitor. To evaluate the oleo-chemical corrosion inhibitor, the corrosion rate of mild steel in NaCl corrosive medium with CO2 is tested at static condition and two dynamic conditions, namely 500 and 1500 rpm. This is to simulate the transitional and turbulent flow in a pipeline. At each dynamic condition, the proposed corrosion inhibitor was tested at concentration dosages of 0, 50, 100, and 150 ppm. The experiments results revealed a good performance of the new oleochemical corrosion inhibitor. The inhibition efficiency was found to be highly affected by the concentration of corrosion inhibitor. Total corrosion inhibition of the mild steel was noticed by using 150 ppm at dynamic condition of 500 rpm.

A review of the literature dealing with the electrochemical corrosion of copper and its alloys with purpose to find the most suitable inhibitor for its protection has been done. According to their chemical composition of corrosion inhibitors are divided into inorganic and organic inhibitors. Inhibition of alloying metals are possible (such as the addition of arsenic alloy components in brass, preventing its unzincanization). The paper reviews the theoretical basis of application of inhibitors to protect metals from corrosion as well as an overview of current research application of inhibitors to protect copper and copper alloys. Benzotriazole (BTA) is most often used corrosion inhibitor for copper and its alloys in acidic and alkaline solution, because of its high inhibition efficiency. The lowest concentration of inhibitor for protection of copper in various solutions was 0.05%, and for the protection of copper in contact with steel is 0.1%. On the surface of copper and brass BTA forms a protective Cu-BTA film. However, BTA is like many other synthesized organic inhibitors is very toxic and if used in very small concentrations. It turned out that the AETD, AETDA and PTAT good corrosion inhibitors of copper mixed type with the efficiency of inhibition increases with concentration. Due to the adverse effects on the environment, health and other bodies in recent times the focus of research is transferred to the inhibiting action of biological molecules or mixtures of natural compounds called „Green inhibitors“.

The corrosion characteristic of Al-5%Si/15%SiC composite in 0.5molar sodium hydroxide solution (cauustic soda) using propargyl as corrosion inhibitors was investigated employing gravimetric and potential measurements. The research was carried out at different inhibitor concentrations, time and temperature rangges of 0.5 – 2.5% v/v, 1– 5 hours and 30 – 70 °C respectively. Results obtained revealed that propargyl is a moderate corrosion inhibitor for the composite, with maximum inhibition efficiency of 59.23% at 30 °C and inhibitor concentration of 1.5% v/v. Thermodynamic parameters such as heat of adsorption, free energy and activation energy were obtained from experimental data and the mechanism of inhibition was elucidated. The inhibitor is physically and chemically absorbed unto the surface of the composite.

Purpose – The paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) as corrosion inhibitor for aluminium in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. Design/methodology/approach – This study was carried out using weight loss and electrochemical techniques. Inhibition efficiency was determined by comparing the corrosion rates in the absence and presence of inhibitor system. Quantum chemical computations were performed using density functional theory to assess the parameters responsible for the inhibition process and also to analyse the local reactivity of the molecule. Findings – HPMC inhibited aluminium corrosion in the acidic environment. The inhibition efficiency was found to depend on concentration of the inhibitor. Impedance results reveal that HPMC is adsorbed on the corroding metal surface. Polarization results show that the dissolution reaction is due to destabilization of the passive oxide film on the Al surface. Adsorption of the inhibitor is approximated by Freundlich adsorption isotherm and the calculated standard free energy of adsorption indicates weak physical interaction between the inhibitor molecules and aluminium surface. This can be attributed to preferential interaction of the active sites with the passive oxide layer. The calculated quantum chemical parameters show good correlation with the inhibition efficiency. Practical implications – HPMC could find possible application as a polymeric thickener and additive to improve corrosion resistance and barrier properties of anticorrosion paints. Originality/value – This paper provides novel information on the inhibitive characteristics of HPMC under the stated conditions. The inhibitor systems provide an effective means for suppressing aluminium corrosion even in highly aggressive acidic environments.
